Is there any way to cook soft-boiled eggs in a microwave? I asked Mom and Cat, and they don't know. I have a microwave and a toaster in our dorm room. We can't have hot plates/burners because some idiots cooked drugs on them and they're also a fire hazard.

I know how to make them on a regular stove. They're really good with shredded-up toast and all mixed together in a bowl with salt and pepper.

Any ideas? Thanks, y'all.

ATK today had a show on Eggs Florentine. They were able to make an egg with a soft cooked yolk on a bed of spinach. The same recipe could be adapted for the microwave I am sure.

If all you have to work with is a toaster and microwave, toast your bread first, and shred it so it will be ready.

Then, as taxlady suggested, poke your yolks , add a tsp. of water per egg, gently stir and microwave....just for 15 or 20 seconds at a time or so at most....stirring at intervals...keeping in mind that the eggs will continue to cook once you remove them from the microwave. Take the bowl of eggs out before they look about as close to soft boiled consistency as you're gonna get.....as they will continue to cook. Mix in your shredded toast, salt and pepper as you like, and enjoy. Actually pretty good that way.

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks to all of y'all. I get kinda frustrated at microwave cooking sometimes.

A whole yolk in the microwave causes a loud explosion and requires a significant amount of time to clean the microwave's interior. Those little particles of egg get into all those tiny little holes in the walls of the microwave.

Don't ask me how I know...
